Catcher In The Raw

Written by Bootsauce, from The Brown Album, 1990


If it was right,
I'd catch you in the night
But I know
That it never crossed your mind
As I ran
And I called to you to see
There you were,
Butt-naked as a breeze

Catcher in the raw
There ain't no doubt about it
Catcher in the raw
Why can't you see
Catcher in the raw
There ain't no doubt about it
Catcher in the raw
Don't you agree

You never got to look
No, never got to think
All you got to do
Is just to sink the pink

Catcher in the raw
There ain't no doubt about it
Catcher in the raw
Why can't you see
Catcher in the raw
There ain't no doubt about it
Catcher in the raw
Don't you agree

(Group) Ha ha, no way!
Mmm, but maybe! (x 7)
(Group) Ha ha, no way!
Mmm, if you're walking down the street
Been working overtime
And you catch the sight of her
And it really makes you frown
Then you open up your eyes,
As they're popping from your head
And there's one thing on my mind
And that is taking her to bed

Catcher in the raw
There ain't no doubt about it
Catcher in the raw
Why can't you see
Catcher in the raw
There ain't no doubt about it
Catcher in the raw
Don't you agree

(Ling, through a vocoder) Don't come back, don't want no fight
Don't pay me no mind, don't gimme no bite
Don't come back and give me your abuse
It can't be fab now lookin' like you
Oh no, yeah right
You don't like that, heh, that's right

(Group) Ha ha, no way!
Mmm, but maybe! (x 8)
(Group) Ha ha, no way!
(Sample A: I am not!)

Notes:

  • The title has an intentional double meaning. It is a reference to the title of Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, and is said like "catch her in the raw", meaning seeing the woman in the song naked.
  • "Sink the pink" is old slang for vaginal penetration. I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you this.
